Parting is such sweet sorrow… Westward Ho

Cultural Dictionary

Parting is such sweet sorrow

A line from the play Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare; Juliet is saying good night to Romeo. Their sorrowful parting is also “sweet” because it makes them think about the next time they will see each other.

  5. Until you meet again. Nice to have the pics as reminders.
    Sure wish I could figure out how to blog while driving. Guess that might be dangerous.
    Have a safe journey.
